Conservative Party candidates swept Alberta in the 2019 federal election with one exception: The NDP won a single seat in Edmonton Centre. Now, a Métis candidate in the Edmonton Manning riding wants to add to that total.
“I can’t stress more that we need more Métis and Indigenous representatives at all levels of government,” said Charmaine St. Germain. “We need to be represented by everybody in this community. So I see myself as a voice for my Métis community.”
Edmonton Manning is northeast of the city with a population of about 121,000. Seven per cent of the population identifies as Indigenous.
